This bespoke Jaguar F-Type is now being driven by this year's Tour de France winner, someone who's actually not Lance Armstrong.

Disgraced drugs cheat Lance Armstrong won’t be driving this one-off Jaguar F-Type. That's because it's been given to a genuine Tour de France winner, British rider Chris Froome. The bespoke Jaguar F-Type V6 S was awarded to mark his recent victory. Froome’s F-Type S has a two-tone paint job that represents the livery of his Team Sky Pro Cycling outfit. Power, of course, comes from that sweet-sounding supercharged 3.0-liter V6 that’s good for 380 horsepower.

Compared to his bike, Froome will undoubtedly be a lot faster when behind the wheel of this lovely thing, going from 0-62 mph in just 4.9 seconds. He can also cause a few bike riders to fall over when he flies past them at a top speed of 171 mph. Yes, driving this F-Type S is way better than riding a bike. We wouldn’t be shocked if Froome secretly agreed.
